I woke up on Friday the 21st and realized that we have our school cross country I was excited. I went to go find my green t-shirt to wear while I run to support my house team.
I arrive at school and I am ready for the big event. Before lunch we get changed into our
cross country gear then after lunch we get ready for cross country. Everybody lines up
out on the school courts and is waiting for their team to run.

The year 7 and 8’s do two laps and is 3 km long. After the year 8 girls start to run the
year 8 boys get ready to line up on the start line. As I was waiting for Mr Burts signal
so we could run I could hear the roaring crowd pounding in my ears, I took a deep
breath and just focused on Mr Burt. I could feel my tummy twist and turn in different
directions and could feel butterflies flying everywhere inside me.

On your marks, Get set, Go!!! I ran with a slow steady pace to start as we had to
do 2 laps, the crowd was going wild, the cheering of the students gave me more encouragement to run more and to make sure to cross the finish line. When I was on
my second lap I was gasping for air and my lungs were burning as if it was poisoned.

I crossed the finish line with 7th place being very exhausted and felt like a champion.
Everyone congratulated me with handshakes and hugs. I was so proud of myself and
everyone else too.
